Sad morning.....

We walked the older to kids to the front door this morning to say goodbye for school and a metal framed topiary tree that we have on either side of our front door was laying on the ground. The metal frame looked like to two globes and a mama bird had made her nest and hatched her little babies in the safety of that globe. Such a clever place for her nest. Well, we've been watching the process ever since she started building the nest and eggs hatched about a week or so ago. The kids love seeing the birdies from the window.

Obviously I was so upset and confused as to how the topiary could have fallen down, way too heavy for a bird to do it. Eric says it must have a been a cat or maybe an owl. Well, the nest is empty except one bird...don't know what to do and can only hope that mama is ok and will come back? Anyway, our little lesson in nature sure took a sad turn. Wasn't prepared to teach the little guys about THAT part of the circle of life.

What a sad story! If you have a "Wild Care" type place you might think about giving them a call about the baby bird that is left. Did you hear the crash? It is very likely that the Mama got away as she is probably very fast and if it was a predator, they would have focused on the weaker of the occupants. I'm so sorry that the kids had to see this.

Good morning everyone! No school here today because of the primary. Katie is having a couple of friends over for a "fairy" day. We're doing fairy crafts and having a yummy sante fe chicken (now there's some hearty "fairy" food for you). I was going to make some little tea cakes and tiny sandwiches for fairy food, but I'm a single parent AGAIN this week so crockpot food was more my speed.

I thought I'd post the recipe in case anyone wants it.

Ingredients
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts (I throw them in completely frozen)
1/2-1 package taco seasoning (I buy this in bulk so I just sprinkle some on)
1 can corn (drained)
1 can black beans (rinsed and drained)
1+ cup salsa
1 8oz. brick cream cheese

Throw the chicken in the crock pot along with the beans, corn, taco seasoning and salsa. Cook on high until the chicken is done (it's about 3-4 hours when I put it in from a frozen state so judge accordingly). When it's done take the chicken out and shred it. Cut the cream cheese into squares and throw in the crockpot (the first time I made it I had about a 1.5 inch block of velveeta left so I threw that in also and make it that way all the time now). Cook on low one more hour (I usually add a little more salsa at this point). Stir it all up and enjoy.

Here are some ways we enjoy it:
On tortilla chips
Rolled up in tortillas with sour cream and salsa on top.
I make a packet of spanish rice and put the chicken mixture and spanish rice in tortillas and cover with enchilada sauce. Sprinkle lightly with cheese and bake until heated through.

It's really yummy!

Have a great day everyone. I probably won't be back until late tonight.

Good Morning All!

I have been so terribly busy lately at work. I had to get caught up from that conference and now I am leaving tomorrow for a Girls Trip to Savannah!! Woohoo!

Anywho...I'm getting ready to post a few more pics of Skinny Minnie.

 

[JenniferAtl]

Skinny Minnie came to work with me yesterday:

Ok, Skinny Minnie is hanging around for a few more days and then she is off on a new adventure!!

You Rock as usual.

Voted!

And BTM, love how you can click the pic and it takes you there....I have only been able to put a link BY a pic....how do you do that??

I am a fan of bag number 2! But I didn't want to hurt bag number 1's feelings so, of course, voted for it as well.

 

[AnnDisneyFan]

Amy, I really hope the mommy bird comes back!

Sorry your day started off that way!

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

Okay, if it's one of your MOST favorite movies ever, you can do the sisters number!

I love that movie, too - I watch it several times a year. I always wanted to be Rosemary Clooney with that voice of hers!

Can we do it together? You can be Rosemary Clooney and I can be Vera Ellen.

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

Hey everyone, got a break from my insanely busy schedule and thought I'd drop in with some great news...

I won a free trip for 2 to Sunny Tampa Florida. Airline tix, Deluxe hotel and golf. It was a AAA online contest.

Pretty cool huh?

Nice one Kenny!

 

[HauntedMansionFan]

We'll have to watch it together if we get to do a Grand Gathering during December! I wish there more movies like it being made today...

Agreed..... I enjoyed the musicals of the 40'/50's. Such a classy time.
